Agent's Comments

Private Country Retreat! This is a rare opportunity to purchase 3 acres with 2 homes, & 2 pole barns on a backdrop of lush Florida landscaping, majestic oaks and a shared pond. This setting is disappearing from Florida neighborhoods, a place where you come to relax and reflect, a destination you'll want to call home. The main home is a rustic A-Frame cottage with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a loft and a laundry room. As you enter the front door, the living room's impressive soaring ceilings give the home a spacious feel, yet cozy, lodge-like with a grandiose floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. The updated kitchen boasts custom cabinets, granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances and both bathrooms have been updated. The wrap around porch is a great place to enjoy the pleasant sunny winter days, and the enclosed spa is a great place to unwind. A 40 x 70 pole barn is attached to the guest house, also complete with a full kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, den or second bedroom and laundry facility. As an added bonus, there's an attached workshop with an air-conditioned room, perfect for a man cave, home office, music room or yoga studio with a half bath included. Plenty of covered parking for cars, boats, and even an RV, so bring all your toys. The seller is even including a 35-foot Open Range Light Travel Fifth Wheel! Newer roofs on the house and barn and newer well equipment means less expenses to anticipate. Freedom from HOA, CDD or deed restrictions allows you to rent immediately with no minimum rental period, live in one home and lease out the other. Note: Current tenant in the guest house would like to stay if the buyer desires. Enjoy boating? Trailer your boat to the Ft Hammer Park located around the corner. Be away from it all, yet just down the road from shopping, schools, medical facilities, casual to fine dining and Lakewood Ranch. Close proximity to the sandy Gulf beaches, Sarasota, and within 45 minutes of the St Pete/Tampa metro area. Bring your Huckleberry Finn childhood to life in a very unique home and playground for all.
